Jack Pott’s BingoCinema · 191 ydExplorer Tom Jack Pott’s Bingo in Cabragh, County Dublin used to be a grand cinema before John Breen opened it in ’49. Now it’s all about numbers and luck. Give those old seats a wink!
bridge288 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Grangegorman Middle carries Old Cabra Road over an old railway line. Built 1875 with rock-faced limestone that looks like it was chiseled by hand. It’s sturdy and functional, so just cross it quickly and don’t look down too much.
post box315 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Grangegorman Middle is standing firm at the corner since 1935. It’s a Carron Company job with dentillated cornices and that P&T monogram. It’s basically street furniture royalty, so give it a little wave if you pass by.
Church of Christ the KingChurch/chapel · 399 ydExplorer Tom Church of Christ the King in Cabragh is basically a showpiece from 1932. Robinson and Keefe built it for the Eucharistic Congress. It’s got those big Corinthian columns that just demand attention. Go say hi to the portico for me.
Silver Lime1279 ydExplorer Tom Silver Lime in County Dublin is flashing a generic lime photo. It’s trying too hard to be fancy. Ask it if it dreams of being a salad ingredient or just a shade provider.
Silver maple1439 ydExplorer Tom Second Silver maple in County Dublin, same Grimes Farm picture. It’s copying its brother. Tell it to stop being a photocopy and find some original leafy flair.
Sean HeustonMemorial · 1481 ydExplorer Tom Sean Heuston's memorial in County Dublin is right by Phoenix Park, which has the biggest flower garden in Europe. He was a politician, so he probably liked flowers more than people. Check it out!
National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & HistoryMuseum · 1538 ydExplorer Tom National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & History in County Dublin is just another name for the barracks thing again. They're really stretching that one name thin. It's got a front facade that looks very serious. Take a photo and look unimpressed.
Glasnevin CemeteryHistoric cemetery · 1566 ydExplorer Tom Glasnevin Cemetery is the whole historic area, not just the office. It’s got Daniel O’Connell’s tomb with a fake round tower on top. Snap that symbolic structure if you’re wandering around!
Royal BarracksBarracks · 1573 ydExplorer Tom Royal Barracks: The very first Dublin barracks, built on land bought from the Duke of Ormonde in the early 1700s. It sounds like a real estate deal where the landlord got paid in military discipline and noise.

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 1736 ydExplorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.
Islandbridge LodgeVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Islandbridge Lodge sounds fancy but it’s probably just a big old house with opinions. The garden might bite back if you’re not polite.
